The Flight of Freedom




"Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving
forward.  If you want to fly, you have to give up
what weighs you down."
Roy T. Bennett

Freedom takes on different meanings as our life situation changes.  Originally, it can be the sense of  running free without a diaper; skipping a nap; dating without supervision; voting registration; or legally drinking alcohol.  Later, there are areas of freedom created by financial security or emotional stability.  Freedom takes on different meanings as we journey through life.

Often, there is a price to be paid for our freedom.  We may have to acquire new knowledge or release what we once held dear.  In order to move forward, we must have a deep understanding of our intentions and motivations.  If we are not clear in our vision, our efforts become too scattered to impact the chosen destination.

When we discontinue the outward search for self and explore our personal depth, we trigger the voyage inward where ultimate freedom is discovered.  There is nothing more powerful than recognizing our depth, connection, and purpose to ourselves, to our community, and to our God.  Release the drama, disengage from the trite, and put down the weight of others. Ignited passion will propel our spirit to radiantly shine with freedom of our own.
